    Misc.

    I enjoy running and took part in local marathon race.

    I like outdoor activities and hiked through the Pacific Crest Trail route within California (From Mount San Jacinto to Klamath Mountains), selected pictures: group shot at camp, sleep at high altitude.

    I am very interested in playing and developing video games. Previous iOS games development cooperated with Jason Li: 100Numbers, iMonsterBall. I previously hold world speed run record for Biohazard 4 (NGC Japanese version) and Biohazard 5 (XBOX360 Japanese version).
